There are 217 schools in the USA with the word church in the name.
The word "church" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the country's historical settlement patterns and the important role churches often played in early American communities. In many towns and rural areas, churches served as central gathering places not only for worship but also for education and community events. Many early schools were built near or even within church buildings, reflecting the connection between local religious institutions and the broader community. As towns expanded, schools retained the names of neighborhoods, streets, or landmarks that prominently featured churches, which helped to identify their locations or origins. This naming tradition has persisted over time, resulting in many schools with "church" in their names, regardless of any current religious affiliation.
